Mine just switch boxes. Other hens need boxes to lay in or it's an Easter egg hunt

Hard to break a bad habit

Yes 😂 at minimum a bad puppy. Haven't heard of it

My mom gave me one 20 yrs ago. No wifi so no privacy issue. But it ate fringe rugs, cords and got stuck between the wall and the toilet. Didn't hold much. I hope the new ones are better

I think it's like a pendulum, back and forth Used to be a farming community where I live on my great grandparents farm. I had chickens on and off, as far as I know they were legal. In 2015 there was a hubbub about some people who had hens and they weren't zoned for them. Turned out I wasn't...

I thought they were a middleman, selling but not a hatchery... like Stromberg... I think the middlemen make more profit than the hatchery.

I have a forest preserve probably 1000ft to the west so the strongest winds are blocked. I fasten the west side of the tarp with washer and screws. The east side is 6 inches short and I use ball bungee to hold it tight. So far no problems with the tarp. The north side has 6mil plastic stapled...

Shame they don't have rental bikes nearby.

Prayers she gets back soon.

Takes a village to raise young... I have 4 coops and flocks. I let them intermingle in the poultry yard if I'm not trying to breed certain roo/hens. If I grab a chick, that's lost or wrong side of the fence, and it screams that a predator has them.... the closest hen will try to defend. Doesn't...
